Hugh of Saint Omer

Hugh of Saint Omer (1072-1 August 1106) was Prince of Galilee from 1101 to 1106, succeeding Tancred of Galilee and preceding Gervaise of Bazoches.

Biography
Hugh of Saint Omer was born in 1072 in Therouanne, France, and he was the lord of Fauquembeurgues (Falkenberg). In 1098, he accompanied Baldwin of Boulogne on the First Crusade in the Levant, and he carved out the County of Edessa through campaigning in Mesopotamia. In 1101, Tancred of Galilee became regent of the Principality of Antioch, so Hugh became the new Prince of Galilee. Hugh went on a raid into Turkish territory in 1106, but he was captured by the Saracens and executed, just as his successor Gervaise of Bazoches would be in 1108.
